What do you know about a 1974 penny with what looks like JFK stamped next to Lincoln facing him?
Kimincc
This is a novelty item known as a "Lincoln Facing Kennedy" penny.
Many of these were manufactured by private individuals in the 1970's as an advertising gimmick. They would take a normal penny (dates will vary) and stamp Kennedy's image into the coin. Then they would attach the coin to a card, which would have listed the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. Ususally these cards would also have some kind of advertisement for a local business at the bottom.
A picture of one of these advertising cards is here : http://www.workingmancoins.com/ForSale/Pics/OtherLinKenCard1974.jpg
A closeup of the list of the "Astonishing Coincidences" is here : http://www.workingmancoins.com/HistoryLinKenFacts.jpg
I have sold many of these Lincoln-Kennedy pennies over the years for $1.00 apiece, and carded ones for $2.50 each.

These "Lincoln Facing Kennedy" pennies were made by private companies -- mostly in the 1970's -- that took a normal penny and stamped a portrait of President Kennedy facing President Lincoln on the front of the coin. They were normally attached to some kind of card that listed the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. The card was usually stamped with a company name & address, and they were often given out as an advertising gimmick by small businesses to attract customers. They sell for a dollar or two if they are attached the the card that lists the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents. Without the card, maybe a quarter.Most of the "amazing coincidences" are especially amazing because they stretch history more than a little bit.
